Tzitzit The Reminder of Yahweh’s Commands
An Offering By Fire
Fire Offerings – eeshah
Burnt offerings – ohlah
Sacrifice offerings – zeh-vach
Vows – neh-dehr
Freewill offerings – neh-dah-vah
Peace offerings – she-lah-mim
Drink offering – neh-sehch
Grain offering – min-chah
These offerings are karbahn which means “to draw close”
For the Native born and the Stranger
Bemidbar 15:14 – 16
the Assembly and for the “…stranger who sojourns with
you…”
The word “assembly” in verse 15 is “Kah-hal”.
And He wrote on the tablets according to the first writing, the Ten Words, which Yahweh
had spoken to you in the mountain from the midst of
the fire in the day of the assembly. Then Yahweh gave
them to me…”
Kahal = = an assembly or congregation = the same word as
“church”.

Israel.
Sin by mistake
Sin offering
Sin offering
Word Study
Bemidbar 15:29 tells us that this command is for the native born
and the sojourner.
Deliberate sin
“But the being who does whatever defiantly, whether he is native or a stranger, he reviles
Yahweh, and that being shall be cut off from among his people.”
The word “defiantly” in Hebrew is beh-yad rah-mah or “with hand
lifted high”. This means “in your face”.
This “deliberate sin” is one committed by either the native or
the stranger.
The word “reviles” in Hebrew is gah-dayf which means to
“blaspheme” or to “insult”.
Gathering sticks on Shabbat
The man gathering sticks was working on Shabbat.

Hint
Romiyah (Romans) 10:4 tells us that Yahshua is the “end of the
law”
KJV
“For [Messiah] is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.”
The Scriptures
“For Messiah is the goal of the ‘Torah unto righteousness’ to
everyone who believes.”
The Hebrew Peshitta uses the word
“tahch-leet”
for “end” or “goal”
Tach-lee-tah – end, purpose, hope, perfection
Why do we do it?
Because Yahweh said so!
Yochanan Alef Reading
Yochanan Alef (1 John) 2:1 gives us the purpose of Yochanan’s
letter.
“… so that you do not sin…”
How do we know that we know Yahshua?
Yochanan Alef (1 John) 2:3 says:
“And by this we know that we know Him, if we guard His
commands.”
Verse 4 tells us that if we claim to know Yahshua but do not guard His commands then we do not
speak truth.
Yahshua gave us the Torah – Yaakov (James) 4:12 – He is the
lawgiver.
WWYD?
Yochanan Alef (1 John) 2:6 says:
“The one who says he stays in Him ought himself also to walk, even as He walked.”
“The old command”
Yochanan Alef (1 John) 2:7 says:
“…The old command is the Word which you heard from
the beginning.”
Our sins are forgiven
Yochanan Alef (1 John) 2:12 says:
“…your sins have been forgiven on account of His
Name.”
His Name is Yah-shua which means
“Yah is salvation”
The Greek word “Iesous” or “Jesus” does not mean this.
What is sin?
Yochanan Alef (1 John) 3:4 tells us what sin is:
“Everyone doing sin also does lawlessness, and sin is
lawlessness.”
Lawlessness is Torah-less-ness or disobeying the Torah commands.
Conclusions
Yahweh’s commands are for the Assembly of Israelites and for the stranger who joins himself to the
Assembly.
The Tzitzit is a device that reminds us of Yahweh’s
commands so that we might do them.
If we follow Yahweh’s commands we know we are in Yahshua.
Obedience to Torah does not give us salvation it proves that we are
saved and follow the One who gave us Salvation.
